Couple more small updates, and sorry for the poor quality pics they were a bit of an after thought
I fitted the new gearknob and gaitor which matches the seat stitch better after watching like 5 YouTube vids and tips from a friend who had done it.
It was pretty scary but not to bad in the end but really happy with the look, I also have the push button and
handbrake fl buttons to fit.

I also did the wiper delete but not sure why the picture went black and white :roll: :lol:

Keep up the good work, not long till Worthersee. Late nights every day now.

I'd never noticed before but you have a separate start and stop button.

Yes its pretty relentless atm and another 4 hour drive tonight after work for the next stage, off course this wont be the finished article in only 3 odd weeks but hopefully a good start :thumbs:

It's a shame there's not more under-bonnet "bling" available but other than the OEM CF you've already got there's only really the R8 coolant/PS caps and a set of silicone intercooler pipes (Forge or KWE). With the sheer size of the V10 there's very little space for anything else :(

Very true but yes I should look into the bits you've mentioned when I have time, I guess the main thing is just to get it looking nice
and clean first under there.

Any pics of any nice tidy bays with the pipes fitted ?

The pipes only show about 3-4in at most where the grey intake pipe goes into the front bumper (shown in pic) so they're hardly noticeable TBH.

Well the car is now sitting lower its gone straight back to MRC for the ramics to be fitted and the drc delete.
Then Stuart is building me a full custom exhaust using the gloss black c7 rs6 Tailpipes so I cant wait to hear and see the results :D

I am so looking forward to having it back and enjoy all the new work on the trip to Austria, 8 days and counting :shock:
